SAND Liquidation Heatmap

Predictive map of The Sandbox liquidation zones on Binance futures

SAND liquidations over the last 24 hours

These are DYOR's own numbers, collected from the Binance futures liquidation stream rather than bought from an aggregator. Long liquidations are positions forced to sell, short liquidations are positions forced to buy — the side with the bigger figure is the one that got hurt. Open interest tells you whether leverage is building up or leaving, and the share of accounts sitting long shows which way the crowd is leaning on SAND.

Where SAND liquidations cluster

Every leveraged SAND position has a liquidation price. Positions opened near the same level with the same leverage get liquidated in the same zone: 10x longs sit roughly 9–10% below their entry, 25x about 4%, 50x about 2%. When many traders enter around one price, those distances stack into dense liquidation zones above and below the current SAND price. The heatmap shades each zone by estimated SAND volume, so the brightest bands mark where the most leverage — and the most fuel for a move — is concentrated.

Why price gets pulled into those zones

A liquidation is a forced market order. When SAND reaches a dense zone, liquidations fire one after another, each pushing price deeper into the cluster. That is how cascades start, and why price so often sweeps a liquidation pocket before reversing. A predictive heatmap shows those pockets before they burn, not after.

How SAND liquidations behave

The Sandbox is a gaming and metaverse token, a high-beta corner of the market that moves hard on narrative. SAND leverage clusters around ecosystem and partnership news, so its liquidation zones fill fast and cascade sharply when the theme cools.

Books are thinner here, so a swept SAND zone can overshoot before mean-reverting. The predictive heatmap is most useful for spotting where late leverage is stacked and where a hyped move is likely to be pulled back.

How traders use the SAND map

• Spot the magnet: the densest zone near the current price is where SAND is most likely to be pulled.
• Filter entries: avoid placing stops inside a large liquidation pocket, that is where wicks reach.
• Time reversals: once a big zone is swept and the estimated volume burns off, the fuel for the move is gone.
• Set an alert: DYOR can ping you in Telegram when SAND approaches a major zone.
